Yesterday, Oprah ended her 25-year-old daily talk show. She must be getting bored of civilian life, because today she is already getting up in other people’s business. From an official press release:
Oprah Winfrey Network announced today it has picked up eight episodes of the new wedding series “Don’t Tell the Bride” based on the hit U.K. show of the same name.
The series gives eight cash-strapped couples a budget to create the wedding of their dreams. But here’s the catch – the bride and groom can’t see each other for the month leading up to the nuptials, and the groom has to plan the whole wedding in secret with the help of his best man and the bride knows nothing of the events!
The bride will see the invitations right when they come in the mail; she’ll try on the dress hours before she wears it down the aisle; and she’ll view the reception venue and meal when she arrives with the rest of her guests.
Does this sound like a nightmare? Or is this a chance for the groom to impress his bride? When it comes to a wedding, there’s always drama, and “Don’t Tell the Bride” promises tantrums – and a few unexpected tears of joy before “the big day” is done.
Coooooool shooooow. 25 more years, I’m sure! Admittedly, it’s no BRIDALPLASTY, also known as THE END OF CIVILIZATION, but I can’t be the only one who finds the basic premise of convincing a young couple to build the foundation of their new lives as married people on a FOUNDATION OF LIES?! To be fair (to Oprah?) any couple that agrees to be on any wedding-based reality TV show kind of gets what they deserve. Which is true love and happiness with their soul mate for ever and ever I bet! Best wishes to all those lucky ducks.

This is just like that show I had an idea for, only instead of the groom and bride not seeing each other for a month, they don’t meet each other at all until the wedding. I call it: Love is Blind
The tagline is “Resistance is feudal!”
Also, everyone dies of the plague.
You get a wedding, you get a wedding, you get a wedding
some time later
You get a divorce, you get a divorce, you get a divorce
Your honor. I’d like to introduce People’s Exhibit 1 as the reason Mrs. Lloyd Wrong would have never signed us up for this show:
It’s cool. This is totally my wedding cake.
We all know this was your bride
Her life is totally Twilight.
I don’t know, this sounds ok to me….
I remember seeing part of an episode of this (here in Lorry land) and besides being awful (obviously, like you guys need me to tell you that, eh?) it was baffling that they had found a couple where the groom could organise some football themed wedding that seemed more like a sick practical joke than the best day of their lives and yet she still seemed happy. True love or just the sheer depths of gaudiness? Probably not my place to say (just heavily imply like I did)
Are the job descriptions for Oprah’s staff “Don’t Tell the Meglomaniac”?
Oprah confuses me since part of her seems human and likable, and part of her seems like a robot that runs on hundred dollar bills and John Travolta’s tears
Women be wedding, y’all.
They are cash-strapped. Now they will have very fancy weddings. I’m pretty sure that sounds like happy endings all around.
